If someone told me they were making a music video featuring 5 high fashion models rocking out to a song sung by Robert Palmer and I hadn't previously watched this video, I would've had just 1 word to say...AWESOME!
However, as it usually turns out in life, it sounds better than it looks.
The music video for Addicted to Love does indeed feature 5 model chicks playing as the rock legends' backing band, playing the drums, synthesizer, bass and lead and rhythm guitars. However, here's the kick...They're all in very heavy pale makeup and contrasting dark clothes, sport expressionless faces and do a VERY sloppy job of even PRETENDING to play! :)
Oh well...At least the song's great!
Here's some info from wiki -
"Addicted to Love" is a song by Robert Palmer first released in 1986. The song has now become known as his signature song, thanks in part to a highly popular video featuring high fashion models. Other artists have released versions since.
This is the third song on the Riptide album. The most commonly heard version runs around four minutes, but the full album version runs a little over six minutes.
The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as spending two weeks atop the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart, and it peaked at #5 on the UK Singles Chart.
Originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan, her record company at the time wouldn't grant her a release to work on Palmer's label, Island Records. Chaka Khan is still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album liner notes.
The guitar part on the song is played by Eddie Martinez, then a member of Palmer's band, and keyboards by Wally Badarou. The song is also notable for the unaccompanied drum opening, which plays at 7/4. The rest of the song is in common 4/4 time.
